Synopsis
Emilia Pérez (2024) is a French-Mexican crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Jacques Audiard shot the film in Spanish: a sharp defense lawyer named Rita gets an offer she has no safe way to refuse — the head of a powerful cartel wants out, not by fleeing the country but by becoming someone else entirely.
Zoe Saldana plays Rita, a lawyer invisible at her own firm until the night a cartel boss makes her indispensable. Karla Sofía Gascón plays that boss — and the woman he becomes, Emilia Pérez — in a performance that anchors the film's emotional logic. Selena Gomez brings her own tension as the cartel leader's ex-wife, and Adriana Paz completes an ensemble where every central role belongs to a woman navigating a world built on male violence.
At Cannes 2024 the film took the Grand Prix and the Best Ensemble prize, then landed a record thirteen Oscar nominations — more than any French-language film before it. It plays as thriller, musical and character study at once, never settling into one shape. Stream Emilia Pérez online on iFILM.
